Heat up your waffle iron. I used a lower heat setting than usual to minimize browning (so that the pretty lilac color of these waffles really pops).

Combine the grape Jell-O mix and milk in the bowl. Whisk to hydrate the Jell-O and mix completely. Whisk in the eggs, sugar, oil, and salt.

Add the flour and baking soda. Whisk together until just combined. Over-mixing will make the waffles tough.

Depending on how purple you would like your waffles, you can optionally add food coloring at this time. I added 3 drops each of red and blue to my batch. Mix to combine.

Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray and spoon the batter into the wells. To achieve a dainty waffle shape, fill the wells only partially. I have a traditional (not Belgian-style) waffle maker and I used about 1 tablespoon of batter per well. Experiment to see what you like best.

Cooking time will depend on the size of your waffles and your waffle iron. They should be done when the waffles pull away from the sides cleanly and the waffles bounce back when pressed lightly with a fork.

To make the glaze, whisk the confectioner sugar and half and half in a bowl. Then add the peanut butter and whisk until combined. Add more half and half if the glaze is too thick and more sugar if the glaze is too thin.

Done!

If you’re really feeling crazy, you can add grape jelly on top of your waffles, before adding the peanut butter syrup. The world is your pb & j sandwich oyster. So go for it!

Side Note: I ate SO many of these waffles the day that we shot this, it’s honestly embarrassing. But they were delicious, so I kind of couldn’t help it.

Also, if you’re wondering about my watch, it’s the Vintage Muse three-hand watch from Fossil. One of my favorite pieces from their spring 2015 collection. Love the big face and tan leather band.

oh my goodness! Love this, I know our grandchildren will too. I invite you to share at my Thursday Favorite Things blog hop . Hugs! P.S. Congratulations on being one of the top DIY blogs to follow in 2015
